I had fun watching the drama!  A typical jdrama that is short yet fast paced. I actually loved the drama and advises the chef gives and that the important point of the drama is what Tachibana realizes herself. I get many wouldn't liked how it turned out but I think it was perfect, except that it's only 10 episode drama. The actors were excellent;  Nakatani Miki is soo pretty, the chef is great in giving advice's and yet... Seto Koji's portrayal and chemi with the lead was great, it was okay unlike other May=December pairings I've seen.
Overall,I  enjoyed watching the drama and didn't have any too much expectations at first since I can't relate to Tachibana's dilemma cause I'm not in that age yet so I just watch the drama with lightheartedness, so I recommend others to do so.

Shichou wa mukudono is a light-family & political drama that engage more on the family problems as it connects to the society's problems that politicians are dealing with.
I liked how the drama depicts the family to society's issues and how the mayor is coming up with solutions but I guess the character is too innocent and kind overall that he can't control he's subordinates. Nonetheless, I'm hoping more politicians will be like him though he's quite idealistic. I don't have any problems with the actors' with their portrayals, they're excellent. I liked how the story progresses from Hiromasa not wanting to  run for office though he did not want it but along the way though he struggled, he did his best for the people, and finding what he really wanted in life; either just to live as a normal citizen or running for mayor to help the future of their city.

I haven't watched the series yet so I'll base my review solely on the movie.

There's a element of surprise for me since I haven't watched the drama, so I don't know much of the characters' personalities. At the end I was taken aback.. like WTF .. I like how the movie is not totally biased on which country is the hero of the movie. I find the portrayal of the characters by the actors so cool and excellent, though there were times I wonder if they speak Japanese or Korean coz the leads voices were so low. But that add points to their bad ass portrayals. I grinned so much when there's interaction between Japanese and Korean characters.
Overall, I enjoyed the movie and I can't find a point of disappointment in the movie. If you want a movie with full of intense scenes and  Jap.Kor  agents'   together  in a movie ,then this is a must watch for you.

This drama is really highly recommended, everything falls into place and unlike other dramas, this somehow close to reality. How the drama tackles the life of a newscaster, the family relationships and how society usually judge people because one incident. It's an excellent drama,  not heavy themed until the later parts. The acting was perfect: Kou Shibasaki as a wife with a secret, you could really tell that she was somehow anxious and was like wearing a mask, you couldn't predict her; Higashiyama Noriyuki was excellent too, how he portrays a newscaster and a husband tormented/frustrated about his wife. They portrayed the characters so well and I like the development of characters. Though I find it bothering/annoying when they use the "holy"  bgm, but until the later parts bgms used improved.  

I'd definitely re-watch it  but avoiding the ending. Though most are disappointed  how it ends, I think there was a message to it. Life is unpredictable, so one must cherish the moment.
